Here's what I believe is most likely the real reason: State just hired a black football coach (Sylvester Croom)."

And your point is????  Klumb's a racist?  Welcome to Mississippi.

Your first interpretation is correct.  I'm from Mississippi, and I'm no racist, so I alone make the second statement untrue.  I had no idea that anyone would think your 2nd statement was even a possibility coming from my mouth (fingers??), but it's always good to clarify.
